Measurement & Data - Geometric measurement: understand concepts of volume.



CCSS.Math.Content.5.MD.C.5 Relate volume to the operations of multiplication and addition and solve real world and mathematical problems involving volume.


  • CCSS.Math.Content.5.MD.C.5a
    • Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes,
    • and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths,
    • equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base.
    • Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication

    • Learning Targets

      • I can unit cubes to determine the volume of a rectangular prism
      • I can relate finding the product of three numbers to finding volume and explain how it is related to the associative property.



  • CCSS.Math.Content.5.MD.C.5b
    • Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.



  • CCSS.Math.Content.5.MD.C.5c
    • Recognize volume as additive.
    • Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts,
    • applying this technique to solve real world problems.
